Complementary and Alternative Medicine — Being a Savvy Consumer
Many people are looking for alternative means to improve their health and well being, or a different approach to relieve medical symptoms other than taking prescription drugs.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario states that Complementary/Alternative Medicine (CAM) refers to a group of diverse medical practices and products that are not generally considered part of conventional medicine.
